With all due respect, that's not what you said in your comment, and it read to me as an attempt to deliberately spread FUD about discord's moderation practices. If you're thinking of a specific incident, and introducing it as a discussion point, you need to actually mention it. Re-reading your original comment, I still can only read it as Discord banning WSB because people are speaking out about their real life issues

Quarterly earnings are built on eyeball-hours so everyone is optimizing for short term maximization of eyeball hours.
I see this as more of a branding choice than a "contribution limiting" choice. It's rather impossible to truly prevent contributions in FOSS (someone can always just make a fork).

Instead, this seems to me as a kind of branding where the maintainers are saying that for the upstream they would like to dictate the style the code is developed with including how/if "bugs" are fixed. This seems reasonable to me. Even the best style guides can't convey styles of ideas about code structure, so having this branding of "Upstream is written according to my thought processes that I can't put into words" seems like a pretty reasonable approach for projects maintained by individuals or small teams.

Also, in this case the dev is still open to bug reports/feature requests. The only thing they're asking for is to not have their style of thought be disturbed.

>There are countless web frontends[^1] to expose a git tree on the internet,

I didn't study your cited list extensively but it looks like a list of tools instead of free repo hosting. E.g. Gitweb and WebGitNet are not analogous to "github.com".

Most devs are not interested in self-hosting a git repo so looking at a list of web frontends for git isn't solving the problem.

>, without the community/social aspect of github.

There are at least 3 categories of social interactions on github:

+ Issues

- PRs

+ Discussions

... and for the repo of this particular thread, the developer is still using +Issues and +Discussions. He just wants to opt out of PRs for the reasons stated in README.md.
How much do you pay for dental insurance?

It's uncommon here in Norway, unheard of in fact as far as I am concerned. I have a checkup once a year that includes a really thorough cleaning procedure and x-rays. That costs about 120 USD. If I need a filling that will probably add about 100 USD at the most and the two crowns (milled ceramic done on site, on demand) that I have cost about 500 USD each so over the last thirty years I have spent about 6000 USD on dentistry, so an average of 200 USD per year.

Regardless of what you want, there are pretty hard legal, economic and political obstacles to democratising the EU that have to be taken seriously in any strategic assessment of the situation

That sounds like it would have been a reasonable choice for naming their research, but isn't the abbreviation "GPT" short for "Generative Pre-trained Transformer"? Seems like they very specifically refer to the pre-trained model, which I would also take from the GPT-2 paper's abstract: "Our largest model, GPT-2, is a 1.5B parameter Transformer[...]" [1]

It is your "god given" right in the ideal world (and i agree with you there), but reality is unfortunately different
You are making an argument based on the personal attitudes of individual billionaires while OP is making a structural argument. So you are not really responding to them.

Further to the point, the personalities and temperaments of people is only weakly correlated with their moral quality, which is what you’re talking about when you talk about “doing good”. For example, many well meaning people who “like to do good” nonetheless participate in factory farming, which is a moral atrocity that subjects tens of billions of animals to suffering and death per year. If you don’t like the animal rights example, take the example of all the “like to do-gooders” who supported Jim Crow.
So, it is very hard not to react on this.

If your distributed microservices require several to be updated at a time for every change, are they really separate services? Isn't the entire point of a microservices architecture to reduce the cognitive load with understanding how everything in the system works? You simply need to learn endpoints, not inner-workings. Take Uber for example: post API 1 for calling a ride, post API 2 for payment data, post API 3 for reporting a problem.

Unless your business requirements change drastically every 2-6 months, then it doesn't matter what architecture you use - you'll have to redo most of the stack in a monolith or distributed microservice arch.
You must agree that the heads of state/governments get there following democratic elections, thus directly influenced by the voters of respective countries. In Europe at least. So the same popular influence is still there, just via a different channel.

> by limiting financial opportunity

Financial opportunity to what? Be specific.

None of the examples there really makes a lot of sense in this case. You think this pump (and coming dump) happening with GameStop would convince lenders to lend to GameStop at better rates? Maybe if they had no clue what was happening and did no due diligence, but that is not the case. And I doubt share price is the only consideration made by lenders, if their share P/E ratio was very low (which shorting would cause) then this would also affect their lending opportunities positively.

You think they were planning to issue new shares? It would have been an amazingly stupid idea which likely would not have been approved by existing shareholders anyway and would have had much the same effect as shorting.

Considerations for an investment bank is quite different from the considerations for a game retailer.

True, but using something lighter-weight like Mermaid.JS helped me in these cases.
Github is free, easy to use, and reliable. Lots of developers use it for private repositories, which obviously don't benefit from community contributions. It's easier than setting up your own server.

Putting the code on Github also makes the project easier to discover and makes the source code easy to navigate.

Finally, note that the author of this post still welcomes bug reports and feature requests.
There are also tons of non-crazy, non-extremists streaming.

No single fund deliberately pushed short interest over 100%. Short interest increasing over 100% is something that happens organically when many firms want to short the same thing. No collusion required. Someone buys a stock from a short seller and sells it short themselves.

I will add that short interest > 100% is a very common risk measure that firms with a short position actively track.

No, you are completely open source. FOSS doesn't have anything to do with the right to contribute upstream. It gives you rights over the code, not the servers that house the code.

JSON vs. XML: Which One Is Better?
JSON and XML fulfill a similar purpose of organizing complex data in an understandable and readable format to various APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) and programming languages, such as Python, Ruby, and JavaScript. This type of technology is essential because structuring the data is what allows us to share it successfully. However, despite aiming for the same goal, they have different ways to operate.

I agree, but I'd make an exception for fixing typos, obvious bugs and tiny additional features. Sometimes the change takes less time that discussing in other channels, and sometimes it's easier to explain with code if you are not a native speaker.

I think that spending more of a weekend in a PR without checking before with the maintainers is a bad idea, because there is a big risk that is not merged and is a waste of time.

Also, each project has it's own weird rules, like code style, space vs tabs, changing whitespace in unrelated lines, adding tests, ... and a long list. Some are written explicitly, and some are just implicit rules. So sometimes it's difficult to make a PR that follows all the rules.
As a JavaScript developer I tire of working around mental laziness and complacency. Here are my no bullshit questions:

Has the team ever produced a product without Angular, React, or similar MV*?

Does the team find state management challenging?

Do you conduct end to end test automation, including DOM interaction in the browser?

How many dependencies does your team require, ballpark, to perform basic simple automation on the terminal with Node (simple count of packages in the flattened node_modules folder)?

How up to date is your internal documentation?

What is the average timeframe for the team to move from receipt of business requirements to business approval of the completed work?

Are the business requirements design by committee or is there a single bus driver?

Which is a higher priority for the team: framework choice, available tooling, or accessibility?

Is there performance testing of the UI code?

By what metric(s), on paper, do you rate developer competence?

I don’t know how to respond to this as you seem to just think I’m an idiot who doesn’t know how to use computers.

The problem with using a terminal is that control of it is distributed between a few things the user can control and the escape sequences (or just output) produced by the shell and any processes that run in it. These may end up conflicting with each other leaving your terminal in a bad state or you may just get broken output (ever tried piping pv something | ... | less?). One way to regain some control is with something like tmux but this can become unwieldy (and heaven forfend it sees a multibyte Unicode character—terminal emulators don’t really have a way to communicate with applications about how wide a character is going to be when drawn)

I think a few things get conflated because there are few text-centric or command-line user interfaces. I put it to you that it is possible to have good composable text-centric user interfaces that don’t rely on pretending to be a VT100 or an ancient single-byte-stream-with-control-sequences protocol.
That's literally the point.

You make some good points, I think. The extrapolation I’d make is that even that last statement is offensive. As some say, “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all”. There’s a culture of decency, and it is opposed to a culture of liberty. Which isn’t to say we shouldn’t have decency, but that everything should be kept in balance. We shouldn’t embrace Gilead’s “freedom from”.
Hedge funds don't need to conspire for short interest to go over 100%. If a business is widely considered a viable short target, it usually just happens through regular market mechanics. Everyone wants to borrow it to sell it short, and they may end up borrowing it from someone who already bought it from a short seller.
> > These people who live a vigorous life to 70, 80, 90 years of age—when I look at what those people “do,” almost all of it is what I classify as play. It’s not meaningful work. They’re riding motorcycles; they’re hiking. Which can all have value—don’t get me wrong. But if it’s the main thing in your life? Ummm, that’s not probably a meaningful life.

Made me think about a few Frankl's quote

> For the meaning of life differs from man to man, from day to day and from hour to hour. What matters, therefore, is not the meaning of life in general but rather the specific meaning of a person's life at a given moment. To put the question in general terms would be comparable to the question posed to a chess champion, “Tell me, Master, what is the best move in the world?” There simply is no such thing as the best or even a good move apart from a particular situation in a game and the particular personality of one's opponent. The same holds for human existence. One should not search for an abstract meaning of life. Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life to carry out a concrete assignment which demands fulfillment. Therein he cannot be replaced, nor can his life be repeated. Thus, everyone's task is as unique as is his specific opportunity to implement it.

The funny thing is that people shitting on other's "meaningless hobbies" are very often in the second category he talks about:

> Moreover, there are various masks and guises under which the existential vacuum appears. Sometimes the frustrated will to meaning is vicariously compensated for by a will to power, including the most primitive form of the will to power, the will to money.
I downvoted you if you would like to report me.
This is not the case and the maintainer outlines why.

(1) FOSS means you (the "licensee") can do what you want with the code, not that I (the "licenser") am somehow obliged to take your input on it. If the maintainers find that code contributions are reducing their maintenance effort, which is often the case, then sure. But if on the other hand reviewing the contributions themselves _increases_ effort, then it literally is a net-negative to accept PRs.

(2) It's also very possible that PRs create extra work. Sometimes reading and understanding someone else's solution to a problem is harder than coming up with your own! Of course, one could take a laissez faire approach to maintenance and just assume good intent and do light reviews, but that doesn't necessarily make for a better codebase.
SourceHut has you opt-in to anything you want - bug trackers, mailing lists for patches, git or hg repos, etc. The source code repository isn't the singular source of truth for a project like it is on GitHub. You can have a project with a dozen bug trackers, two mailing lists, and five source code repositories, organized in whatever way makes sense for your project.

> And there will be more laws made targeting individuals engaging in this sort of activity (basically coordinating with groups of people).

These laws will not be legal under US law, because US congress is not permitted to make a law abridging an act of speaking, or expressing an idea, or opinion.

> Finance is highly regulated and arbitrarily so.

The level of arbitrariness of legal process in legal systems of ex-UK colonies is in league of its own in the world, and USA is particularly prominent at that.

In US, financial regulations are some of the most vaguely defined of laws, in the rest of the world, they are usually are the most verbose, and formal in definition.

A law whose execution is wholly arbitrary is not a law at all, and a country allowing arbitrary interpretation of laws is lawless.

This is why what is "technically legal" is legal. What is defined in the law as legal, or not defined as illegal is what is legal. This is why no smarty pants bureaucrat should be allowed to wiggle out arbitrary powers by coming with "interpretations," "extended definitions," or "legal theories."

> If you think the lawmakers and regulators will throw their hands up and say geez, it's technically legal, carry on, you're sorely mistaken.
